Things You'll Need:

• Phone book

1. Decide which camera part or parts you need.

2. Choose how much you’re willing to spend on the camera part(s).

3. Memorize your camera’s name and model.

8. Investigate your area for pawn shops or thrift stores. Both venues often have nicely used camera parts for low prices. Make sure you check the part(s) to ensure that they are in working condition.

9. Bring your camera to make sure the part works and is compatible with your camera when shopping in camera stores, pawn shops, or thrift stores.

Tips & Warnings

• Bring your camera to make sure it is compatible with the part you're going to purchase when shopping in camera stores, pawn shops or thrift stores.
• Don’t ever buy camera parts without testing them first if the seller does not have a refund policy.
